ceremony: ceremony: [14] The antecedents of ceremony are obscure. We can trace it back to Latin caerimōnia ‘religious rites’, but there the trail stops. It probably arrived in English via Old French ceremonie.
ceremony (n.): late 14c., cerymonye, from Old French ceremonie and directly from Medieval Latin ceremonia, from Latin caerimonia "holiness, sacredness; awe; reverent rite, sacred ceremony," an obscure word, possibly of Etruscan origin, or a reference to the ancient rites performed by the Etruscan pontiffs at Caere, near Rome. Introduced in English by Wyclif.
